BOHO BEAUTIFUL aka GACHA ADDICTION FED

Sometimes a look comes together without effort. Something sparks it and the next thing you know you are done. Well black cowboy boots painted with colorful flowers did it for me. I was at The Chapter Four which is a monthly sales event. I often forget about all of the wonderful little sales markets you can find around the grid, but today I was reminded. So off I run to see what is there. I land and immediately am loving the hobbit hole style of the build. I quickly look over the designers, but I know Chapter Four has those dang gacha machines. A gacha machine is in my opinion one the most wonderful and yet awful creations to come out of SL. Goddess knows I have happily dropped thousands of lindens into designers pockets hoping for one item. So like a gambling addict I almost run to the Gacha room. I try to wait patently for the pictures to rez in and then ones does, before me are the cutest cowboy boots by Coco Designs. I really wanted them! I feed the machine and promise myself only once. I wait and then the boots land in my inventory. FIRST TRY! To say I was happy is an understatement. Now the rest of the room is rezzed in and I saw the fringed bag by Moon. I had to see if I could get it in Midnight to match my boots. Again I promise myself once and only once. I feed the machine and I get a rare. Dang it I did not want the rare! I know everyone wants the rare but I really wanted the midnight bag. So like all good addicts I say okay just once more. I again feed the machine. I stare at my inventory and there lands the bag I wanted! I give a quick glance to the rest of the room and run home. So there I was standing in my house naked and bald but I have on great pair of boots and matching bag! Then it just happened. I saw the outfit and was able to dig around in my closet and pull it together. I admit I had a moment of self doubt, should I wear jeans or not! My original choice in shorts was reaffirmed and I just let it be. So here it is raw shots and all. For the record I am loving the Vali Shirt by Miamai this is the second time it has ended up in my blog!
